Need to redeem yourself? The Repechage

Day 2 of our Experimental Weekend at Sierra Point

We’re going to turn the course around and run a 2nd day. East Coasters have run consecutive days of racing at their events for years – we’re going to see if Northern California racers have enough in the tank for 2 straight days of Sierra Point. “Oh, is THIS what it looks like in daylight?” Similar fields with some changes but almost everybody will get that chance at Redemption. Got a flat yesterday? Push the Re-start button on Sunday. Hit the Red Zone too long and bonked? Push the Re-start button on Sunday. Couldn’t get away for Saturday race? Here’s your weekend chance.
